  2. Harmonic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_oscillator

    A simple harmonic oscillator is an oscillator that is neither driven nor damped.It consists of a mass m, which experiences a single force F, which pulls the mass in the direction of the point x = 0 and depends only on the position x of the mass and a constant k.

  3. Poincaré–Lindstedt method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincaré–Lindstedt_method

    We solve the van der Pol oscillator only up to order 2. This method can be continued indefinitely in the same way, where the order-n term ϵ n x n {\displaystyle \epsilon ^{n}x_{n}} consists of a harmonic term a n cos ⁡ ( t ) + b n cos ⁡ ( t ) {\displaystyle a_{n}\cos(t)+b_{n}\cos(t)} , plus some super-harmonic terms a n , 2 cos ⁡ ( 2 t ...

  4. Perturbation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perturbation_theory

    Examples of exactly solvable problems that can be used as starting points include linear equations, including linear equations of motion (harmonic oscillator, linear wave equation), statistical or quantum-mechanical systems of non-interacting particles (or in general, Hamiltonians or free energies containing only terms quadratic in all degrees ...

  5. Oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscillation

    An undamped spring–mass system is an oscillatory system. Oscillation is the repetitive or periodic variation, typically in time, of some measure about a central value (often a point of equilibrium) or between two or more different states.

  6. Van der Pol oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Pol_oscillator

    The Stuart–Landau equation in fact describes an entire class of limit-cycle oscillators in the weakly-nonlinear limit. The form of the classical Stuart–Landau equation is much simpler, and perhaps not surprisingly, can be quantized by a Lindblad equation which is also simpler than the Lindblad equation for the van der Pol oscillator.

  7. Phase portrait - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_portrait

    Phase portrait of damped oscillator, with increasing damping strength. The equation of motion is x ¨ + 2 γ x ˙ + ω 2 x = 0. {\displaystyle {\ddot {x}}+2\gamma {\dot {x}}+\omega ^{2}x=0.} In mathematics , a phase portrait is a geometric representation of the orbits of a dynamical system in the phase plane .

  8. Phase-shift oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-shift_oscillator

    A phase-shift oscillator is a linear electronic oscillator circuit that produces a sine wave output. It consists of an inverting amplifier element such as a transistor or op amp with its output fed back to its input through a phase-shift network consisting of resistors and capacitors in a ladder network .

  9. Parametric oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_oscillator

    A parametric oscillator is a harmonic oscillator whose physical properties vary with time. The equation of such an oscillator is + + = This equation is linear in ().By assumption, the parameters and depend only on time and do not depend on the state of the oscillator.
